Dems Debate Future Of The Party After Mamdani S Upset Win

'Selling the City' star and real estate broker Taylor Middleton tells 'Fox & Friends' New York City clients are feeling uncertainty and anxiety after far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani's mayoral primary win. For Republicans, the reaction to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory this week in New York City's Democratic Party primary for mayor was simple. They attacked the Ugandan-born 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens, who took a major step toward becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation's most populous city, as an extremist and anchored him to Democrats... The attacks stretched from down ballot on the campaign trail all the way up to the White House, with President Donald Trump claiming that Mamdani was "a 100% Communist Lunatic." REPUBLICANS USE MAMDANI BOMBSHELL VICTORY OVER CUOMO AS AMMUNITION TO BLAST DEMOCRATS AS EXTREMISTS Democrats are torn between courting moderates or doubling down on progressives.

New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani’s ascension to presumptive Democratic nominee in New York’s mayoral race has reinvigorated the conversation about which ideological faction of the Democratic Party should lead the way as... Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist in the style of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, centered his campaign on affordability with bold promises: free child care, fare-free buses and rent freezes. "I think that the Democratic Party must always remember what made so many proud to be Democrats, which is a focus on the struggles of working-class Americans across this country," Mamdani told ABC News... Another dynamic at play in this race, and for Democrats nationally: age.

A well-heeled former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 67, conceded to the 33-year-old relative newcomer. The concession comes as some in the party call for a new generation of leadership to take the reins of the party. 👋🏾 Hi, hey, hello!

But let’s start with the brewing fight between Democrats playing to win power in Washington and those trying to redefine what power should look like in the first place. IN THE WEEKS since Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani’s surprise victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, online calls to challenge establishment Democrats—including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)—have intensified. This is an adapted excerpt from the June 25 episode of “All In with Chris Hayes.” On Wednesday, every Democrat who holds office in this country woke up to the possibility of a primary challenge next year because of what happened the night before in New York City.

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman and democratic socialist, is poised to be the Democratic nominee in New York City’s mayoral race in November. It’s hard to see Tuesday’s results and not take a step back to look at what this means for the future of the Democratic Party and the existential question of whether it’s up to... Mamdani’s success tapped into the seismic dissatisfaction among the Democratic Party base with the political establishment and status quo. Mamdani — a Muslim immigrant born in Uganda to a filmmaker and a college professor, who came to the U.S. when he was 7 — toppled a multigenerational political dynasty in New York and delivered a crushing defeat to the state’s disgraced former governor, Andrew Cuomo. In hindsight, the knockout blow came during a televised mayoral debate a few weeks ago, when Mamdani took Cuomo to task over his many, many scandals and for his steadfast refusal to pronounce Mamdani’s...

A Democratic battle over the future of the party intensified after Zohran Mamdami’s stunning upset in the New York City mayoral primary. Progressives argue Mamdani’s win is a sign of where the party needs to go if it wants to build winning coalitions that propel it to victory in next year’s midterms and beyond. But moderate Democrats opposed to Mamdani say moving too far in that direction could put the party in jeopardy in areas of the country less friendly to the sort of progressive policies he has... Some political observers point to Mamdani’s strengths as a candidate and messenger as more critical to his success and a future playbook for other Democrats than his ideology. “[Mamdani] pretty clearly has a lot of political talent,” said Kyle Kondik, the managing editor of the nonpartisan election handicapper Sabato’s Crystal Ball. “Whatever his ideology is, it may be that the talent itself is more important than the actual issue positions.”

Mamdani shocked New York on Tuesday as votes poured in, showing him in a healthy position to beat the former powerful governor for the Democratic nod for mayor. The remarkable lead — well ahead of his start 30 points behind Andrew Cuomo — excited progressives in and out of the city, offering them a much-needed boost after a dismal November election.
